EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged while at recruit training with an Entry Level Separation. In the summer of 2002,
the recruit training medical officer recommended that the former recruit be processed for discharge. On
Standard Form 600, the disqualifying diagnosis reads as “Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety with Depressed
Mood”.
For entry level separations at boot camp, an uncharacterized character of service is not derogatory in nature and
is the prescribed character for individuals who were separated while at initial accession training with no
associated conduct to warrant a less desirable character of service.
Since the discharge, the applicant has continued on working on a degree in criminal justice and would like to
join the local police department. Within the application, the applicant mentions that the stress in boot camp was
also due to panic attacks after being a rape victim as a child. And, being diagnosed with a disqualifying medical
condition will not allow re-entry to the CG. The applicant provided no further medical documentation or
current endorsements. With only 18 days of service and one medical evaluation at recruit training, there is not
enough evidence to support a change to the “character of service” or the “narrative reason for separation”.
The RE3 reentry code is not an affirmative recommendation for reenlistment, rather it represents that the
applicant is not recommended for reenlistment due to a disqualifying factor. Based upon the policies and needs
of the gaining Service the RE3 code may be waived. RE3 is prescribed for entry level separations.
The Board recommends no relief.
Propriety: Discharge was proper.
Equity: Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Concur. No relief.

Based upon the applicant’s account, the discharge was due to the inability to handle stress in recruit training while being a newlywed.

No relief.

Normally, when a member is separated with less than 180 days of service, they are issued an ‘Uncharacterized’ discharge. Based on the limited amount of supporting documentation, and the standard of reenlistment codes issued for Adjustment Disorder separations, the Board recommends an RE3 reentry code.
